    I mean, that’s definitely a downside to long term stable distros. So, basically, the choice is between that and a rolling release which has the downside of the possibility of things breaking on update and never really having an easily reproducible build

      No, Fedora is semi-rolling with less random freezes. Regular Ubuntu is similar but just not Ubuntu please.

      Fedora also had 13 months of support so staying on the older version gives an extra stability.

      And then there is OpenSUSE slowroll, which is CI/CD with more testing

          It is semi-rolling. They ship different point releases and kernels within a release

            Hmm… If that’s the case, that’s news to me. I’ll admit I don’t do much with Fedora, I’ll have to take a closer look at them.
